A lever hoist can be used to lift heavy objects or to horizontally pull them. The hand chain hoist relies on pulling the hand chain as the power source to smoothly lift heavy objects, while the manual hoist uses a handle to lift weights. Manual hoists are compact in size and suitable for operations in confined spaces; they can be operated in any direction such as horizontal or vertical, whereas hand chain hoists are used vertically. Manual hoists are mainly used in places where the cargo is not very heavy, and the chains of the hand chain hoist can be selected according to the actual situation to lift different weights. Both types have many different tonnage specifications based on their load capacity. When using them, it is important to ensure that the weight being lifted does not exceed the rated capacity.
